![]() ![]() I notice if you press and hold the forward or back buttons on the steering wheel, it will eventually move in 10 second increments but very slowly. MS is pushing exFAT on so many operating systems, but why not the SYNC?Īs for the fast forwarding, I feel your pain. This prevents me from using my 128GB flash drives unless I reformat it at FAT32 which then prevents me from storing very large files (HD movies) on the drive. Can't read USB flash drives that are formatted with NTFS or exFAT. Its like having 'shuffle' enabled permanently!Ĩ. So when you select "play all", the album plays out of order. Even though each track is named in the following format: 01 Artist - Track Name.mp3, 02 Artist - Track Name.mp3, etc. When using USB flash drives, the tracks in each album are not listed in alphabetical order. Maybe you could do something similar with your Zune and use your phone (with a non-standard podcast app) to have a nice overall solution?ħ. I still keep my iPod in the car so I have my complete music library locally if I want, but I don't keep it plugged in. I also used to use the Turntable.fm app, and they used the next/previous track buttons to thumb down/up the song, which I liked. That's made all the difference in the world for in-car listening. In the ST, BT Audio does properly resume where I left off so I've been using that with my iPhone, but more importantly I found a podcast app "iCatcher" that remaps the BT audio next/previous track buttons to 30-sec skip forward/back. So I didn't use that regularly since I'd get in the car, and have to say "Blue tooth audio" to SYNC to get her to switch back to my phone. On the old Sync, BT Audio would work for me from my iPhone, but never restart after I left the car and came back to it. I didn't have problems re-indexing but once or twice in three years the system did just get "Index full" and crap out, requiring unplugging the battery. I could hold down the forward/reverse buttons on the dash to skip ads or whatever, but it was tedious. With my 2011 Fiesta I kept my iPod (60GB or something) in the car, and played podcasts and stuff from it. ![]() It may not help for your Zune, but here's my experience. As it is I'm looking at canceling my zune music subscription, (I've loved the service until now) sticking my ram mount to the touch screen (it's a nice smooth flat surface) and using my phone over bluetooth for all media. If anyone can describe how to successfully fast forward a lot of my gripes will go away. It would be great if they would open their app platform for development, maybe a 3rd party media player could be developed, accessport could tie into the native display, ect. App platform is closed and there is a complete lack of development. Random vehicle health report reminders interrupting things.Ħ. Even with the media loaded onto usb flash drives, I still dread stopping for any reason on my commute, because it often loses it's place in the audio file, or if for some reason you have 2 usb devices, may chose to start playing the other device.ĥ. Sure, if I hold down the skip ahead button on the wheel controls or in the touchscreen, it can skip 2 seconds at a time, but takes about 1.5 seconds to skip in each 2 second block, in a 3 hour podcast that still takes a significant amount of time to get halfway through, time I should be focused on operating the vehicle.Ĥ. Really? This leaves the Sync interface less functional than a cassette tape player, and no way to get back to where I was at in a podcast or audio book without starting from the beginning. I've switched to usb sticks, but that has limitations such as:ģ. When it does finish re-indexing, the menus don't categorize by genere, which leaves podcasts and audio books undiscoverable. It doesn't matter if the car was parked over night, or if I just stopped to get gas. Constant re-indexing anytime I shut off the vehicle that takes anywhere between 5-30 minutes. ![]() If this is the case I appreciate if anyone can tell me how to resolve these problems. I fully realize that I may be to dense to use the product, and my gripes are unfounded. ![]()
